Immortal Empire

Carmine Montefiore, Mafia Capo and King of Vampires, has everything on the line. Luna Beneforte has nothing to lose, and she's the only woman who can save him. When Luna gets a letter revealing a long lost family in Italy and a life-changing inheritance, she doesn't hesitate to board a private plane to escape her dead-end life, and inadvertently runs directly into the arms of a dead man. Carmine Montefiore,capo of a secret vampire mafia, was sired five hundred years ago, during the second sack of Rome. But for the last fifty years, his people believed him dead…as any normal vampire would be after getting staked. But Carmine is far from normal. Now he's back to search for a bride. He needs the blood of a Strega witch to restore his power, but they've become increasingly rare in the years he's been gone. Then he scents Luna… This audiobook is 14 hours long, in multi-cast with Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor, with Rose Dioro and Dane Anderson doing all the other characters, accents ages… and it's amazing.

When I was claimed by a monster who said my Strega witch blood was powerful, I didn't believe him - because nothing shows you how powerless you are like a forced marriage to a vampire. Girls like me are cautionary tales, not the heroine of the story. Then my mother walked out of the shadows and into Italy on a ray of light. This time, her lessons lead to power instead of pain. All the vagueness of my sixth sense suddenly has a shape… and I can sculpt it into a weapon. Carmine Montefiore is not my husband by choice. He's a vampire who scented me. He's a mafioso who kidnapped me. But like a girl with nothing to lose, I fell in love with the dark. He put me in thrall when he took my blood. I rewrote his heart when I found it waiting for me. We need each other as much as we want each other. To earn my freedom, I could master my magic and end the monster who made me fall for him, or defeat the most powerful monster of all.
